Welcome

On behalf of the SLAC Users Organization (SLUO), I would
like to welcome you to the community of over 1300 SLAC users
and invite you to actively participate in SLUO.

The Users Organization provides a means of communication
between the users of the Laboratory and the management. It exists
to allow the users of the SLAC facilities to share common concerns
and interests. Through its Executive Committee it expresses
the views of the users on matters of operating policy and facilities
utilization. By meeting regularly with management, it provides
information to its members on matters affecting their relationship
to the laboratory. These issues include the working environment
at SLAC and the quality of life of the users.

As users of the laboratory facilities, we also have a strong
interest in making sure the facilities we need to pursue our
research goals are both developed and adequately utilized. To
that end among our mission includes facilitating the involvement
of our members in projects at SLAC and promoting the utilization
of existing SLAC facilities and the approval of new ones. We
provide a channel for presenting the views of the SLAC users
community to the funding authorities and advisory bodies such
as the High-Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP).

My fellow Executive Committee members and I welcome your
active participation. Please contact us if you have comments
or suggestions on how to make SLAC a better place to work.
